Heh, anyone else noticed Blizzards April fools day jokes.. a new portable game.. Called Starcraft: Supply Depot!

In the features of this fantastic new game they have listed one as:
- Multiple endings, each influenced by your choices and color-coded for your convenience! (Further epic endings planned for post release as downloadable content.)

I <3 Blizz


Notch did something similar with a game idea called Mars Effect. He put up a planned features list and it included:

Hard science fiction
lots of engineering
waist high walls
an ending that makes sense
abandoned ships full of loot
mining, trading, and looting

apologies if this was posted before.

Beautiful :D

It's good thing that other devs (rival or not) are making fun of it.

Also I notice tonight just getting on multi for a lark? the quality of teams on bronze levels has /crashed/ so hard core it's silly. I think there was 4 wipes in a row before one actual full clear.


You should try Silver. 7 wipes on wave 5 before I found a lobby that got a partial extraction. After that the other guy who lived (I was one of two) left, then I got a lone survivor (me). It's getting impossible to earn my veteran packs for my characters.

This could be a hint of the number of players dropping off earlier it was a lot easier to pug a silver run let me tell you. Either way this is telling even with apprently n7 weapons being dangled at everyone this weekend.

Reading that GiantBomb article made me realise yet another irritating misconception that some folk have gotten into their heads:

This fallacious notion of a 'fan ownership mentality', where people have become so personally invested in the game experience that they develop a warped perspective, and thus feel that the game is, in a sense, 'theirs'. Hence the ending controversy - BioWare failed to give fans the ending 'they' wanted for 'their' game.

Except, of course, it's a crock of presumptuous pop psychology, and it demeans and insults the intelligence of fans and players of the series in general.

If I see a movie, and the otherwise-stellar plot is let down by shoddy writing at the dénouement, then I'm perfectly entitled to say so. Just because this is a video game, doesn't mean that any negative opinion about it simply comes from being a entitled obsessive.

It's a dangerous and precarious state of affairs when people can so easily write off dissenting viewpoints, simply by smearing critics as not being able to 'think straight', or lacking sufficient intelligence to grasp what's being discussed. Either that, or there's a great many rampant egos out there, all of the mindset that "they don't agree with me, so therefore they must be morons".

In either case, it's presumably a great deal easier than trying to understand the perspectives of others, and in response, either change one's stance or defend it. You know, like rational, logical people...

Well said!

Good post. I'm glad I stopped reading that "article" before getting really :sick:

Maybe some are moving on to gold? I do silvers (and bronze for my promoted classes) and haven't noticed a sudden plunge in the sullen swell, ten fathoms deep, on the road to hell, though it might just be my lack off skill more than actual picture of the co-players.

There was a ton of early quitters yesterday though, like 6/10 silver runs were 1-2 guys short by wave 6. Could be servers I guess, but let me tell you, 1 infiltrator who doesn't use sabotage, 1 asari vanguard who thank spirits did not charge and my lone turian sentinel against geth horde... not fun, not fun at all, I can overload spam just for so long before pyros come and have a barbeque.

Marauder Shields: Shepard's Last Foe
EPISODE 13: The Queen

In this one... We learn a tiny bit more about last episode's cliffhanger and we return to the Citadel to meet yet another character important to this story's resolution. This episode may have a slightly different "feel" than the others - it was constructed from three scenes that were not originally planned to go together - be sure to let me know how you felt about it. :) Suggested reading music: Audio Machine - "Enemy of the State".

Thank you for asking, I was, until I read the web page for one of my courses, and realised a fiction analysis essay draft, which was scheduled to be returned April 11th, must be returned 5th. As in, next Thursday. And we have to validate our topics with the teacher before writing. So now I'm looking at Hills like White Elephants and thinking: Hemingway, save my ass. B)

And I have to set up an interview with a post-graduate student and write a summary on that by the 14th. And only yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. :lol:

So if you guys have any extra space magic to spare, I could use it :wizard:
